ENGLEFIELD HOUSE, BERKSHIRE.

I've been meaning to get down to these beautiful grounds for the longest time.

Englefield House is a beautiful Elizabethan country house, tucked away in the quieter of Berkshire's countryside. For a lover of polished and preened gardens, the grounds here are an absolute must (although they're only open on a Monday).

Aside from the beautifully manicured main gardens, there are endless wandering and hidden pathways to explore, each concealing something to view, somewhere to sit and sometimes, a little surprise - we couldn't get off of this ??? swing! For me, the charm of the place can be truly experienced because more often than not, it's empty. You'll see the odd fellow admirer wandering through the hedges but for the most part, you're left to enjoy the garden on your own.

Go now and the place is alive with azalea, tulips and rhododendrons, but I can't wait to get back in Summer to everywhere carpeted with roses!

So beautiful! The last picture looks like a garden fairytale <3 I love exploring gardens and botanic gardens, especially with nice alleys and flower beds :) perhaps one of my favourite I've visited is the Alcazar in Seville (I mean, it *is* a palace afterall hehe) and recently I was in the Boboli Gardens in Florence and that was such a nice walk too! And who could forget the famous Keukenhof in Netherlands! Yay gardens!
